Our waitress was bland and dull. We sat down, she came by and said "We have pizza, it's one size". I was taken back---And then said hello. The pizza was great - the meats were fresh and delicious read more

While we were staying outside of Salem Massachusetts in the Danvers area we had dinner at Santarpio's Pizza. It was in walking distance to our hotel so I ran over quickly to grab dinner. The Pizza was extremely good! It's a Greek restaurant serving up some great tasting pizza pie!Definitely recommend and would do again & again! read more

Came here on a recommendation that Santarpio's has some of the best pizza in the greater Boston area. Let me first say this: This pizza is not a style that I truly enjoy. I enjoy crispy crust with stiff crust under the toppings. This pizza was not it. It was crispy on the crust but not under the toppings. Having said that, woah, this pizza took me back to my college days of eating delicious greasy pizza that just hits the spot at the end of a night of enjoying adult beverages. (We were sober for this pizza) Service was great. The place itself is a time capsule of the 80-90s with its decor. It's great! Side note: it's appears many people come here for the BBQ. We didn't know that until we left and saw all the BBQ plates. We will return for BBQ and Beer at a later date. read more

It seems like Santarpio's struggles with consistency, or maybe it has just fallen off. A return visit in late July after a mid-May visit proved disappointing. In May, our pizzas were crisp, hot, and delicious. Lamb skewers were tender and tasty. In July, lamb was overcooked and flavorless. Pizza crust was underdone and while I enjoyed the flavor, it just didn't hit the same. Service was friendly. It was lively both times, and our May party of seven only had a 45-minute wait on a Saturday evening. However, I'd try other pizza places or the Eastie location, but I'd not return here. read more

Tried to go today for lunch. Used to be one of my faves. Sat at the bar high tops for like 6-7 minutes not even greeted. Asked for water and menus finally...never got either. Walked past numerous times even asked for wifi password. Just to get anyone to realize that we weren't being helped. I am a bartender at a high volume up scale restaurant in Boston..so i am more than patient because I get busy but to sit for 15 minutes to not be acknowledged is unacceptable. read more

Got Santarpia's tonight, ordered two pizzas 1 cheese 1 Pepperoni for 38 dollars and not happy. They have gone downhill, and it makes me sad we enjoyed it on Fridays and stopped for several months because of the decline. So tonight, we struggle but we say goodbye. Too much crust and no corn meal it's not the same. read more

One of my favorite places for PIZZA and I'm not a pizza person. I also love their BBQ LAMB. So good and reasonable prices! No menu needed!

We stopped in just as the kitchen was closing for takeout and were so grateful they still took our order. We kept it simple--just a cheese pizza and two waters--but the staff couldn't have been more pleasant. Everyone we interacted with was kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, even at the end of their shift. The pizza came out hot and delicious. It's rare to find such great service and warm hospitality, especially so close to closing time. We'll definitely be back--next time a little earlier! Highly recommend Santeria for both the food and the people. read more

Yes, I am biased. Grew up loving good Greek style "House of Pizza" bar pizza style. Pizza here is Papa Gino's/Regina style and it is usually very good. The sauce and the cheese is A plus. The crust? Inconsistent...sometimes dry; often burnt. Oh well. 2 out of 3 is pretty good. Love the sausage and peppers side dish & steak tips. Oh...and Jade! She is probably the best bartender in the North Shore btw no lie/not my sister. Always nice to us. We only go 4-5 times a year but she is memorable for sure read more

Still one of the best pizza places around! Takeout tonight 1- cheese 1-Sausage simply delicious!

Staff is very friendly and helpful. The pizzas are awesome. I like the garlic and sausage. Nice bar to grab a drink and play keno too!!

Going to this place since it opened. Pizza and lamb is always hit or miss. This last visit was the worst. Pizza had hardly any tomato sauce very dry and cheese was rubbery like it was left for ten minutes before serving. Lamb pieces were not chewable. Service was ok. Pizza crust too thick 2 inches of nothing like they don't want to add any more ingredients like tomato sauce and cheese. read more

HORRIBLE! Tried to order online at 8:15 PM on a Friday night. Apparently they stop taking online orders at 8 PM because they close at 9;00. On a Friday. . But OK. Ordered a sausage, mushroom, green pepper in person at 8:25. This was the wettest, floppiest, gooiest crust I've ever, EVER had. Spongy, mushy, ick. Also wasn't cut all the way through, probably because the dough was still raw? One of the worst pizzas I have ever had. We were starving, so yeah, we ate it. It had been a rough couple of days and we just wanted to eat and go to bed. read more

Santarpio's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

This is different location, not as good as the OG authentic neighbourhood location in East Boston. BUT the pizza is still fire and the atmosphere good. Service is very good too. I've been there with my friends, my girl and my little boy. read more

Sit at the bar, ask questions, and enjoy the experience! Great bartenders. Ordering a pizza must include garlic, onions, extra cheese and whatever's on your pizza topping list. Add a carafe of wine, make friends (if ya can in MASS!), and exit early! Did not disappoint read more

Unethical. Found this sticker on my takeout box, "Servers say vote 'no' on Question # 5" (pic attached) Regardless of where you stand on the issue, Santarpio's doesn't represent servers, they represent themselves - restaurant owners. Shameful. read more

It's like being in an abusive relationship. This horrible customer service experience was beyond anything I've ever experienced. We called ahead to reserved seating for a large party after a funeral. We EVEN HAD A PRIEST DINING WITH US. We were over estimated reservation count and this immediately aggravated the entire staff despite the place being empty on a wed at 1 pm. It felt like the ENTIRE staff wanted us gone. They rudely an begrudgingly responded to our requests for extra chairs, a high chair, food, boxes, drinks, and allergy accommodations. I asked if we could have extra chairs because we were short. Gathering the 4-5 chairs became a full fledged battle involving 4 furious employees. We were still one chair short but too scared to ask for another one so I STOOD UP for about 15 minutes until my cousin was bold enough to go sneak another chair. During this ordeal, the hostess complained that we should have gotten a function room (her job to have done) Seems like an easy solution and like that should have been done when we told them we had 30 people coming from a funeral. I asked for a high chair for my infant, thinking this wouldn't be as angrily received because who doesn't like babies right? Well I was wrong. They hate babies here too. I asked another employee we hadn't yet interacted with I was hoping she would be nicer, but she was immediately angered. She shouted "you want a high chair now too!?" Then she grabbed it and stormed off with it before I could answer and stormed around the entire perimeter waving the chair high in the air while I followed, bewildered still unsure if I was getting the high chair. Like a petulant child asked to pick up her toys. Eventually she angrily dropped it and stormed off leaving behind a cloud of green villainous mist. "Thank you" I shouted after her in a failed attempt to appease her. The waitress rolled her eyes repeatedly while taking our order, wouldn't let us finish ordering before trying to walk away, got irritated with every order we made and just kept shouting HOW MANY PIZZAS!? to the point were some of us got too nervous to finish ordering. A few brave souls ordered steak tips. I have an allergy so had to hold her attention for longer than she wanted as I explained that I needed a gluten free cheese pizza and steak without bread as she interrupted shouting once again "how many pizzas!?" Then started to walk away. We looped like this about 3 times before I finally gave up and accepted that I'd probably be leaving hungry and more sad than when I'd arrived. As the food started trickling in, the staff came out shouting items and immediately angered if they were not the items we ordered. "PEPPERONI PIZZA!!" , not ours, PEPPERONI PIZZA!! , not ours, *2-3 staff members glare at us* ok fine we will take it. LAMB TIPS, not ours, LAMB TIPS, not ours, gang of staff glares at us again so I jump in, "ok put it here and we will figure out who's it is. Don't worry about it". A peace offering I assumed. Nope. Olive branch rejected and burnt. We were so frightened that we just kept accepting food we didn't order. The staff came out twice to give me steak with bread on top to which I calmly reminded them that I needed mine without bread. After the second attempt, an employee giving very strong East Boston vibes, rolled his eyes at me and contorted his face as if I was the most ridiculous pompous person he had ever met. Right to my face making eye contact. At this point I'm fed up and my East Boston comes out too, time to fight fire with fire. I quickly respond "what!? You got a problem with that!?" To which he, probably sensing the East Boston in me now, back peddled and tried to play it off. Then he went behind the wall and 2 seconds later came back with a sinister grin on his face stating "this is brand new steak on a new plate" which I knew was bull because 1 - it was too quick and 2- you could see he didn't even go into the kitchen. My cousin was too scared to ask for water and had to choke down her food without hydration. They even got annoyed when we asked for to go boxes. In summary, This was overall the most aggressive, hostile, rude, and flat out unwelcoming customer service experience I have ever had. Despite the amount of business we were bringing in, we were in mourning, we would be giving a large tip, we had a priest, a baby, etc, there was no way to win them over or appease them. The hostess didn't put us in a function room, so the entire staff punished us. The pizza was still so damn delicious. Even the gluten free one I had was amazing (I'm Sure I got cross contaminated - still Worth it). The moment that sauce cheesy piece of heaven touched my mouth, all their sins were forgiven. It's conflicting to love a places so much when they treat you so badly. Just be prepared because if you don't have tough skin you're not going to make it. You'll end up standing up while you eat something you didn't order with no drink and sad read more

AWFUL !! The pizza crust burnt center raw thin WET ! The bottom of pie wasn't cooked ! You could not Pick up !!Everything ran off peppers onions mushrooms sauce ! Disgusting worse pizza I've ever had ! The waitress was rude not interested in waiting tables Useless !! Yelling over what did you want ! Never again ! Don't stop RUN !! read more

Food was great, but our server was horrible and rude, it was an older hispanic lady with glasses, the entire time we were there it looked like we were a big inconvenience to her and it was blatantly obvious that she just didn't wanna be working as we were getting the check we informed her we were going to split the check two ways she rolled her eyes and had a nasty tone with us, we decided to not tip her well for the horrible customer service and ive never been the type of person to not tip well but this was one of the worst experiences ive ever had at any restaurant with a waiter or waitress, she then raised her voice at us when she saw the tip as we were headed out the door shes lucky we even tipped at all we will not be back. read more

Sat at bar and when I was finally recognized ordered a medium lamb skewer and medium sausage. I could barely cut the sausage it was so well done and the lamb could not even chew it and very fatty. Bar staff and bar service awful. If you don't like to smile or say hello go to work at Santarpios, I'll never go back and I am passing the word. read more

On vacation out of the country for a month and our first stop back in the states is a must have Santarpio's Pizza. I honestly can't understand how anyone can give this place less than 5 stars!!! The pizza is just excellent. We no longer live in Massachusetts but any time we are in town it's our first stop!!! We were here last night and tonight and ordered cheese pizzas both nights. Service is great and the food comes out quickly. Parking is much easier than the East Boston location!!! read more

Have enjoyed going to this location, in the past. Food & service, always good. Not tonight! Pizza, worst I've ever tasted!! Soggy, too much sauce & not enough cheese! Missing ingredients! Ingredients on pizza, I didn't order. Very disappointed!!! Service not up to par, as well. Over charged $47.75, on bill!!! Brought guests, thought they would enjoy. Not the case. I was embarrassed!! read more

Cold, beer, barbecue and good pizza good service o bread, and hot peppers yum... this place just put a smile on my face.. from the original location 30+ years always been an absolute treat.. Still great after all these years here to you Lefty ...... Argentina, Cowboys, Boston mass...... read more

True to the original, and conveniently located for anyone on North of Boston near Route 1. The pizza from the original location in East Boston is one of my favorites, and this is on par. The toppings are buried beneath some cheese & sauce, so not easy to spot in the photo. The crust is thin, so a fork and knife are a good idea. Their BBQ (grilled steak tips, lamb, and sausage are tasty as well. Only minor issue was a slippery floor in the bathroom. read more

Our family got seated in a small room with a very loud and obnoxious party of 16 that were dropping the f bomb every other sentence. They were shouting at each other. They also were bragging about their drug use. Not the most appropriate conversation with a 12 year old. There was about 4 four conversations with each group talking louder and louder. Rather wait an hour in the cold at their East Boston location than have this experience. They knew their server so they're probably regulars. Fine to keep them in their own room, but the hostess and waitress should have never seated us in the small room. The sausage bbq was great as always. The pizza was good. Probably would've given it 4 stars if not for the business's choice of seating us there. read more

Great pizza I still wonder why they put the toppings underneath the cheese that baffles me but I guess that's a santarpios thing

Ordered two pizzas girl repeated it, go to pick it up she only put in for one. How do you screw up an order that you repeated? So you want to make a second one while I wait and give me a cold one and a new one? No thanks. So three of us had to share one pizza. Hire competent people to take phone orders read more

One of our friends who lives down the street from us keeps raving about this place. He finally brought us a pizza for my husband and a skewer of lamb for me. It was really good. We went to the museum of science in Boston the other day and stopped here on the way home. My husband got the meat lovers pizza and I got a skewer of lamb. Fresh and hot out of the oven and it was all so delicious I completely forgot to take photos of the food, LOL! But trust me, if you like lamb, it's super tender and comes with italian bread and cherry peppers. The meat lovers pizza had pepperoni, homemade sausage and ground beef. My husband ate the whole pizza before I could even try it, so it must have been great! They are on Route 1 north with plenty of parking, lots of seating, a bar and reasonably priced clothing (my husband got a long sleeved t-shirt) Check out their mouth watering photos on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/santarpiospizza/. read more

Santarpio's Pizza - Awesome Lamb Skewer - Pizza Near Me - Peabody, Massachusetts

The food was excellent, as always, but the waitress was arguing with us regarding the % 9 tip and she was so rude

generally speaking, the pizza is very good, however, the majority of the time they grossly overcook the pizza and you can't even eat the crust. It's usually hard as a rock. The salad dressing is very tart and tangy. It taste like cheap red wine vinegar. And some of the wait staff is not pleasant by any means. read more

Dined in and also got a pizza to go tonight... completely forgot it and started driving away Kimberly came all the way out into the parking lot to make sure we got it. That was so beyond kind... Made my night!!! read more

I'm not big on sauce, so this was my favorite pizza, but my husband loved it. Pepperoni was good, we also ordered the homemade sausage based on all the reviews. Expensive for a plain sausage, but worth it to try it. Super flavorful and charred on the outside. A little spicier than ideal for my sensitive palate, but overall super good. read more

The pizza here is delicious. It's no frills, but that's part of what makes it amazing. The red sauce pizzas are done in a unique way, where the toppings are under the top layer of cheese. Call me a pizza scientist! The white pizza is amazing. I could eat the shrimp scampi pizza every. Single day. Awesome garlicky flavor. The grilled meats are great too. Welcome to old school pizza heaven. read more
